Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 1 swan

Supplies:

  • 1 apple
  • 1 small sharp knife
  • 2 butter knives
  • lemon juice
Edible Apple Swan - supplies
 

Steps:

  1. Cut the apple in half vertically a little bit outside the core. One side will be slightly larger than the other. As you make cuts exposing the fruit, dab on some lemon juice to keep it from browning.
  2. Edible Apple Swan - cut the apple in half vertically, slightly outside the core, one piece will be a tiny bit larger
     
  3. Pop the apple seeds out and set aside to use for the swan's eyes later.
  4. Edible Apple Swan - save the seeds for use later as the eyes
     
  5. Place your 2 butter knives on the outsides of your larger apple half. Slice downwards right outside the core, stopping when you hit the butter knives.
  6. Edible Apple Swan - prop the apple up on two butter knives and cut down, slightly off the core, until you hit the knives

  7. Now come in from the side, cutting along the butter knife guides to cut out a wedge.
  8. Edible Apple Swan - use the knives as a guide and cut from the outside to create a wedge
     
  9. Pop out the wedge. Repeat this on the other side so you make a T shape at the core.
  10. Edible Apple Swan - remove the wedge and repeat on the other side
     
  11. Now take one of the big wedges and cut straight down, about 1/4 inch in from the edge. Stop at the butter knife guides.
  12. Edible Apple Swan - take a wedge and cut down 1/4 inch from the edge stopping at the knives
     
  13. Now cut in horizontally against the guides.
  14. Edible Apple Swan - cut horizontally along the guides

  15. Repeat this a couple more times inside each wedge until you have 3 wedges and a mini end piece wedge. Put the wedges back in place, then slide them back a bit, forming the wings.
  16. Edible Apple Swan - repeat to create three more wedges and a mini edge wedge. Put them back together and then slide back to form the wings
     
  17. Put the 2 wings on the upside down T shaped apple base.
  18. Edible Apple Swan - place wings on the upside down apple t-shaped base
     
  19. Now we'll make the swan's head. Take the other reserved apple half and cut out a 1/4 inch disk.
  20. Edible Apple Swan - using the other half cut a 1/4 inch disk
     
  21. Cut in half diagonally.

  23. Now cut the outer half of the apple so a piece is removed from the center. This outer piece will be the swan's beak/head/neck.
  24. Edible Apple Swan - cut off the peel side to create the beak, head, and neck
     
  25. Trim the neck so it's not too long. You can make this as long or short as you'd like.
  26. Edible Apple Swan - trim the neck so it is not too long
     
  27. At the front of the base T shape, remove the apple stem and cut out a rectangle slot the same size as the swan's neck.
  28. Edible Apple Swan - remove the stem from the base and cut a rectangular slot the size of the neck
     
  29. Press an apple seed into either side of the swan's head, then place this into the slot you just cut.
  30. Edible Apple Swan - press a seed into each side of the head

We have been experimenting with food art lately. My son and I are having a lot of fun making things out of food. This one he came up with by slicing the apple in just the right way he made a swan.
